Fine Tune Therapy & Pilates

Fine Tune Therapy and Pilates is a complementary therapy business based in Maidstone, Kent. Our practice is built on the core belief that illness is a result of the body being out of balance, and that given the right conditions and care, the body can heal itself and maintain a healthy state. We strive to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms of disease, and our meticulous approach ensures a well-balanced and personalised care plan for all our clients' specific needs.

Our therapist, Sharon, is a highly skilled and passionate practitioner with a vast range of expertise in a variety of therapies. She is particularly interested in mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety. Sharon is also a Level 3 VTCT qualified Pilates Mat Instructor, with an understanding of orthopaedic conditions, the use of small equipment, and pre and postnatal Pilates. She is a member of the Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs).
